Artwork description: Ordinary window glass is made to be looked through, not looked at. Transformed into an object, it asks us to notice what we have learned not to see.

Artwork description long: Window glass is an ordinary material with an unusual purpose. It is made to be present without being noticed. Its function is to protect and separate while allowing us to see through it as if nothing were there. We look through the glass, but rarely at the glass itself. The Unseen begins by reversing this familiar relationship. I use ordinary flat window glass, remove it from its architectural function and turn it into an object that asks to be looked at. Through cutting, repetition, layering and cold-working, the transparent sheet becomes structure, volume and image. What was meant to disappear from attention becomes the focus of it. Small interventions of colour interrupt the transparency and alter the way the eye moves through the object. The material has not lost its ability to be seen through, but the viewpoint has shifted, instead of looking beyond it, we begin to notice what is directly in front of us. For me, this shift also carries a human parallel. Some people become almost transparent within the structures around them: present, necessary, yet easily overlooked. The work is not about changing what is there, but about changing our attention. Sometimes a small intervention, or simply a different point of view, is enough for the unseen to become visible
